Quadrophenia, The Who’s sixth studio album, will be released as an SDE exclusive blu-ray audio, in February 2026

Issued as a double album in October 1973 by Track Records, it’s the group’s second full scale ‘rock opera’, set in London and Brighton in 1965, with a narrative that follows a young mod named Jimmy and his search for self-worth and importance. The album reached No 2 in both the UK and US album charts and features the singles ‘5:15’ (a UK top 20 hit), ‘Love, Reign o’er Me’ and ‘The Real Me’.

The SDE blu-ray includes 2025 Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo mixes of Quadrophenia mixed by Richard Whittaker, whose association with the band goes back decades. Additionally, the disc includes instrumental mixes in Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo, the unique Quadrophenia 5.1 EP (which contains unique mixes/segues was previously only available in the out-of-print Director’s Cut box set of 2011) and the 2013 stereo remaster. Note: There are no other formats for this Quadrophenia reissue (no box sets or vinyl) just the SDE blu-ray.

Richard Whittaker explained to SDE his approach to mixing this album in Atmos: “The original stereo mix by Ron Nevison and Pete Townshend was somehow superseded by a stereo remix in the mid 90’s that was mixed by Jon Astley & Andy MacPherson. Sonically, these two versions are really quite different, so Bob Pridden and I decided to study and reference both sets of mixes whilst creating the new Quadrophenia 2025 mixes in Atmos, 5.1 and Stereo. In doing so, the new mixes sit (sonically) between the two stereo versions and have elements re-instated from the original mix that didn’t make the 90’s remix”.

The audio streams of Quadrophenia on the SDE-exclusive blu-ray are as follows:

• Quadrophenia 2025 Dolby Atmos mix (48/24)
• Quadrophenia 2025 5.1 mix (48/24)
